Potůčník has a pilgrimage site with the small Chapel of St. Anne, a red-marked hiking trail and the Hanušovická 50, a recurring tourist excursion. Its landscape is shaped by water, from the Branná Valley to the headwaters of Potůčník Creek in the Hanušovická Uplands. For planning purposes, these themes differ: the route is described by place names, while the event date, rental offer and current access to a visitor attraction should each be checked separately.

Pilgrimage Site and Chapel of St. Anne

Potůčník is home to a pilgrimage site with the small Chapel of St. Anne. The water that emerges at the chapel is said to have healing properties. This is a religious tradition: the effects are presented as an attribution, not as a medical property. For travelers interested in pilgrimage sites, the chapel is a specific cultural point of interest; the tradition associated with its water adds another dimension to this focus.

Branná Valley and the Source of the Creek

The lower part of Potůčník’s cadastral area lies in the Branná Valley. The river’s water power was first used by a mill, and later by other businesses as well. Potůčník Creek, by contrast, rises from several small springs in the hills of the Hanušovická Uplands, which are over 650 meters high. These are two distinct water-related features: the mill and business use concerns the Branná, while the springs describe the source of Potůčník Creek. Past use and the creek’s physical source thus offer different perspectives on the landscape.

Hiking Trail with Named Waypoints

A red-marked hiking trail leads from Hanušovice through Hynčice nad Moravou and Potůčník to the Nad sv. Annou trail junction. The sequence of place names makes the route geographically easy to follow and gives you specific names to navigate by. Since the route description is undated, check the markings on site before relying on them. This trail offers a different kind of trip planning from the single cultural attraction at the chapel: here, the focus is on the route through several named places.

Hanušovická 50: Dates and Rental Offer

The Hanušovická 50 is a traditional tourist excursion with regular stops for food and drinks. The 26th edition took place in 2023, and the 28th on June 21, 2025, at the premises of KOSTKA – kolobka, s.r.o. in Potůčník. At that edition, participants could rent a kick scooter on site if they had not brought their own. If you are planning to attend a later edition, check its date and rental offer again; the date and rental information given here relate to the 2025 edition.

KOSTKA Complex: Visitor Attraction Listed in 2020

A regional tourism description from 2020 lists a showroom and test area at the KOSTKA complex in Potůčník. Most of the models offered at the time could be tried there. This combines an exhibition with the opportunity to test models in practice, offering a different focus from pilgrimage, landscape or hiking. If a visit is an important part of your stay, check in advance whether the showroom and test area are currently accessible.
